Re: Investment banking questions
And I give you a quote from my last month’s interview with Goldman:
“What people don’t understand is that just because you have a 4 point from an Ivy doesn’t guarantee you’ll even get an interview. We turn those kids away all the time. Why? Because most of the time they are ‘eggheads’ whose transcripts look amazing, but other than that, the only thing they excel at besides going to class is video games. It’s just frustrating interviewing those kids. How are you supposed to interact with a client when the only thing you can talk about is derivatives and how many monsters you killed in Halo last night on your f***ing Xbox 360? Those kids just don’t make it here.”
You can dispute that argument, but he wasn’t the first person that I’ve heard that from…
